Finamore Napoli vs Hilditch and Key vs Russell and Hodge vs Dege and Skinner RTW
Interested in a comparison between the four brands in terms of quality and fit. A ranking of the four would also be welcome. Individual quality would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

If you could show us photographs of you wearing each one, we could give you some idea of which one fits the best.

I dont own any of the four. In terms of fit, i mean which would have a slimmer or more modern cut.

Use the search function to find out what people think in terms of quality and go to the different brands' websites to get an idea of what their RTW selections look like.

I have searched the four brands on this forum. There is not much information on the quality of dege and skinner rtw and russell and hodge. I am asking for information on these two brands. Aswell as the superior shirt out of these four.

The only one from that list I've owned is Hilditch & Key.

They're a tad blouse-y for my taste. Definitely not slim fitting. But nice buttons and good construction.

Dege and Skinner have the cachet, but also the highest pricce. Hilditch tends towards the trad, and the baggy; I have no experience with Napoli, but I can recommend Russell and Hodge, they actually make their shirts on premises as opposed to the others; they also do not charge a premium for simply being on the Row or on Jermyn street.

As R&H is not on either of those two streets, they cannot charge a premium because of their rent.

What I meant is that Dege & Skinner and Hilditch & Key probably markup their prices due to their locations, Russell and Hodges, not being on those two streets, doesn't. They used to be on Jermyn street though.

Finamore are very nice and generally slim off the rack. And I actually think they are the most expensive of the list (but this depends on the number of hand made operations and the material).

I know that this is an old discussion but I just noticed it and thought I would add my two cents. I don't own any shirts from the other makers but I do own some MTM shirts from Finamore and I love them. They are beautiful shirts and they have a great slim cut fit to them. I would highly recommend Finamore. All though, by now I am sure you have probably already made up your mind. What did you end up deciding on?
